I meant to respond on this before.  Kingsmead Reprints was, I believe, a
one-man show run by one Mr Frost (no relation to the cataclysmic Mr Frost of
Kings Lynn fame).  I went to see him once at his bookshop in Bath as a
possible potential publisher for my efforts.  That was after he had
reprinted Walters's Wiltshire without any updating and Sharpe's Berkshire
with some.  I don't know if he had any successor(s) but would rather suspect
not.  And I don't suppose he made any money out of Tintin., Wilts. and
Berks, either.
